Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether it is read-only, requires network access, or has side effects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single, clear sentence without unnecessary words. It is appropriately concise, though could benefit from a bit more detail.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema is provided, and the description does not explain the output format, types of issues detected, or how to interpret results. This leaves significant gaps for a security analysis tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for each parameter. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it analyzes code for security issues and vulnerabilities, but does not differentiate from similar sibling tools like 'security_threat_model' or 'get_secure_template'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of prerequisites, limitations, or recommended scenarios.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. It only lists outputs but does not disclose any behavioral traits such as side effects, authorization needs, or constraints. The tool's behavior regarding data persistence or generation style is not mentioned.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence, no wasted words. However, it is minimal could benefit from slight expansion to cover usage context without losing conciseness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool has 3 parameters (2 required) and no output schema. The description does not explain how parameters map to outputs or what the generated artifacts look like. For a complex generation task, more context is needed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 33% (only 'domain_name' has a description). The description does not add meaning to parameters beyond their names. For example, 'business_goals' and 'project_description' are not elaborated on format or expected content.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states verb (Generate) and resource (user stories, security requirements, abuse cases). It specifies the outputs but does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'analyze_code_security' or 'security_threat_model' which may produce similar requirements.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has 0% coverage for parameter descriptions. Description adds 'from project description' but does not specify expected format, length, or constraints. Parameter name alone is insufficient.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description states verb 'auto-detect' and resource 'domain' with input 'project description', indicating basic purpose. However 'domain' is ambiguous (could be internet domain or application domain) and does not distinguish from siblings like list_domains or load_domain.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like list_domains or load_domain. Agent must infer usage solely from vague description.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states the tool 'generates a pipeline' without detailing what the generation entails, authorization needs, or output characteristics. This is minimal disclosure.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single concise sentence that states the core purpose. It is front-loaded but lacks supporting details. It is not unnecessarily verbose, but it does not provide enough information to be considered well-structured or fully informative.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With four parameters, no annotations, no output schema, and only a terse description, the tool definition is severely incomplete. The agent has almost no guidance on how to use the parameters or what to expect from the tool's output, making it difficult to invoke correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the four parameters (tech_stack, project_name, deployment_target, repository_platform). The schema provides enum values for some parameters, but the description adds no semantic help beyond the parameter names.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It implies a read operation but does not specify error handling (e.g., when domain or language is invalid), authentication requirements, rate limits, or any side effects. For a retrieval tool, details on result format or potential absence of data are missing.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise at one sentence and eight words. It front-loads the core purpose, but omits usage guidance and behavioral details that could justify additional length. For a minimal viable description, it is efficient but could include a brief usage hint without becoming verbose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description fails to provide necessary context. It does not explain what the tool returns (e.g., a list of rules, formatted text, or JSON), how to handle missing data, or any constraints. For a retrieval tool with two parameters, the description is insufficient for an agent to use it reliably.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Both parameters are fully described in the schema with clear, self-explanatory descriptions ('Domain name', 'Programming language'). The tool description adds no additional nuance beyond the schema, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate for 100% schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states that the tool retrieves coding guidelines and security rules for a domain, using specific verbs and resources. It distinguishes from sibling tools like analyze_code_security or security_threat_model, which focus on analysis rather than retrieval. However, it could be more precise about what constitutes 'guidelines' and 'security rules'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that efficiently lists the key outputs. It is front-loaded with the verb and target items. However, it could be slightly more structured (e.g., separating input expectations from outputs) without adding length.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 5 optional parameters, no output schema, and 16 sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It doesn't specify what the tool returns, how parameters affect behavior, or how it fits into a design workflow. For example, users don't know if 'export_format' controls the output or if 'target_language' changes pseudocode style.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description does not mention any parameters, while the schema has 5 parameters (including project_name, user_stories, export_format) with 0% schema description coverage. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema; it fails to explain how parameters like 'user_stories' or 'security_requirements' influence the generated design.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses the verb 'Generate' and lists specific outputs (feature checklist, flows, modules, pseudocode, architecture diagram), making the tool's purpose clear. However, it does not differentiate from similar sibling tools like 'ba_analyze_requirements' or 'qa_design_test_strategy', missing a chance to specify its unique scope.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. For example, it doesn't clarify whether this tool is for initial design vs. detailed implementation, or when to prefer it over sibling tools like 'security_threat_model'.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It mentions '.gitignore filtering' which specifies a key behavior, but does not disclose potential side effects (e.g., read-only, performance for large directories) or whether it follows symlinks. Adequate but not comprehensive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the action ('Generate a snapshot') and adds the key filtering context. No unnecessary words or repetition.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool has only two parameters and no output schema. The description covers the main output behavior (file tree with gitignore filtering), which is likely sufficient for an agent to understand what to expect. Minor gaps: no mention of output format or depth limitations beyond the optional max_depth parameter.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add extra meaning to the parameters beyond what the schema already provides (root_path and max_depth are self-explanatory in the schema).

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb 'Generate' and a clear resource 'snapshot of workspace structure (file tree with .gitignore filtering)'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools which are mostly analysis/design-oriented, making its purpose distinct and easy to understand.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (like get_coding_guidelines or parse_error_log). While it may be a prerequisite for workspace analysis, this is not explicitly stated, leaving the agent without explicit selection criteria.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
